Precautions for Infant Gastroenteritis in Summer

Summer is a season with a high incidence of gastroenteritis in babies. Mothers should take preventive measures. Once they discover that their baby has gastroenteritis with fever, they should replenish water for the baby, mainly feed them with liquid food, cultivate the habit of washing hands frequently, and finally prescribe antibiotics for treatment. If the baby continues to have diarrhea and fever, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for intravenous treatment, and pay attention to keeping the baby warm. Here are some specific points:

1. Summer brings hot weather, which is also a season with a high incidence of gastroenteritis in babies. As babies' immune systems are weaker than adults, unhygienic food and tableware can lead to diarrhea and fever symptoms. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be required.

2. If the baby's gastroenteritis is acute, it will be accompanied by symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and lethargy. In addition to antibiotic treatment, it is necessary to encourage the baby to drink more water to prevent dehydration.

3. When the baby has diarrhea and fever, it is best to feed them with liquid or semi-liquid food. Warm rice porridge can not only regulate the spleen and stomach but also replenish water for the body. It is also important to keep the baby warm.

In conclusion, mothers should pay attention during summer and autumn as these two seasons are associated with a high incidence of gastroenteritis with fever in babies. Especially in autumn, the risk of babies contracting rotavirus is relatively high. It is recommended that mothers encourage their babies to drink more water, urinate frequently, and wash their hands regularly to prevent seasonal diarrhea.
